I think this was because I wanted to slip an anti-virus scanner in betwixt the two. Procmail will give you a few nice added benefits (filtering mail into folders on the server for one) and definately works with postfix and maildirs.

Have a look at the original Maildir privilages you will see each mail dirs have

dunno if I am looking in the right area.
I'm trying to configure Postfix for Maildir,
(Maildir is the wau to go, no ?)
I've edited /etc/postfix/main.cf
.. home_mailbox = Maildir/ ..
no other dirs were specified
I then sent an email to 'voytek@(thishost)
that worked OK, and, Postfix created a dir structure below # ls -l /home/voytek/Maildir drwx------ 2 voytek voytek 4096 Aug 18 23:08 cur drwx------ 2 voytek voytek 4096 Aug 18 23:23 new drwx------ 2 voytek voytek 4096 Aug 18 23:23 tmp
I then tried to reply to the email, to see if Postfix will create Maildir for 'root' as well, like it did for 'voytek', BUT, I'm getting a bounce:

This is the Postfix program at host
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: maildir delivery failed: create /var/spool/postfix/Maildir/tmp/1061212376.3171_0.(thishost): Permission denied
---- # ls -l /var/spool/
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Jul 29 05:52 postfix
- am I supposed to alter permissions on /var/spool/postfix/ ? or, have I got something misconfigured ?
to summarize:
after editing Postfix to support Maildir format, sending mail to user 'voytek' DID create /home/voytek/Maildir tree, but, replying to user 'root' generates an error
